Topic: httpd-admin server manager problem

[Ahmed]

I have just completed a new install of SME Server 5.6 on a budget system. On my first boot after configuring the server the following steps failed:

httpd-admin: Starting httpd=admin:
httpd-admin: Syntax error on line 177 of /etc/httpd/admin-conf/httpd.conf:
httpd-admin: Cannot add module via name 'mod_ssl.c': not in list of loaded modules.
httpd-admin: httpd-admin: startup failed
httpd-admin: ^[[60G[ ^[[1;31mFAILED

Line 177 says:
 AddModule mod_ssl.c

I have tried repairing the httpd conf file using the expand template command but that did not work.

My next option is to work out how to load mod_ssl.c. Any ideas?

Also what is the meaning of the line:
httpd-admin: ^[[60G[ ^[[1;31mFAILED

I think as a result of this I have been unable to access the service manager via the text browser and via http. Via http I get the follwoing message:

Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.The proxy server could not handle the request GET /server-manager.
Reason: Could not connect to remote machine: Connection refused


I look forward to your replies

Well I just can answer this one:

Also what is the meaning of the line:
httpd-admin: ^[[60G[ ^[[1;31mFAILED


This is a snipped of code that shows up when your pc is booting on your console as:


httpd-admin                                    [  FAILED   ]  ( in RED ;-(  )

Also in my conf it is called on line 178 and I have the following entry on line 137

LoadModule ssl_module   /usr/lib/apache/libssl.so

I would check this too

sorry that I can't be more helpful

I am going to try the update of 5.6 today and see if that helps in fixing this problem.

I will post my results soon.

The update made no difference. I still get the same error. does anyone no how to load mod_ssl.c?

[Ahmed]

I fixed the problem by adding the line from the other httpd.conf module in sme server:

LoadModule ssl_module /usr/lib/apache/libssl.so

and on reboot httpd-admin loaded fine.

The odd thing is why wasn't this line there in the first place? And is there any dangers in haveing it loaded this way (it is already loaded by the httpd.conf file isn't it?)
